Any one can provide detail how to connect XP512 or XP1024 to HPUX Box( 11.11), and how to create LUN and how to use LDEVs.

Thanks in advance

Hi Gaurav,

You have to use s/w command View SDM to manage your XP boxes. This is an GUI based tool

You should have gotten CommandView/XP (or rewuest an upgrade) along with your XP512 purchase.

CommandView/XP allows for easily carving out LUNS from the raid groups on the XP512...

You can also use Remote Control to manage your XP. This is set up by the HP Engineer and sits on a private lan connected to the SVP (laptop inside the XP cabinet). Its not as user-frendly as Command View but it has all the functionality.
Disk Allocation:
Basically HP will split up all the disks you have bought and chop them up into smaller peices - Typically Open-E's (14 GB chunks).
These chunks can be presented to hosts as luns by creating a SCSI path in RemoteControl. You then need to set up lun security to associate your hosts WWN with the lun. As long as your switch zoning is set up correctly your lun should be visible to the host. If you want to join up a number of luns then you create a LUSE volume.
....Just a few pointers....
Cheers

What's the smallest LUN size I can present to a Windows 2003 server, yet have it be expandable in the future?
